I know everyone says it’s best to just stick to “said” as a dialogue tag bc it disappears and that’s true and I mostly do but I want to take a moment for my all-time favorite dialogue tag, “lied.” Absolutely nothing hits like “‘I’m here to help,’ he lied.” NOTHING.

ABSOLUTELY one of my favourites.

I was being cancelled because apparently it was classist to put feathers on dinosaurs.

Both dream me and irl me were very confused.

it might have been a dream, but feathered dinosaurs being linked to an ideology isn't that uncommon. Them being viewed as "leftist", "woke" or "gay" has occured several times.

I collect these examples.

reblog if you like dinosaurs, are gay, or just really like feathers

btw since this I have been beautifully and painfully trying to learn to cook, crochet, sew, paint etc and oh boy am I mediocre at a bunch of things but I’m having fun

ai covers make me so uncomfortable dude. like i know hearing characters or creators sing songs is cool cause its like wow youve never heard them do that that sound cool but like man if that was my voice and people did that id be fucking ill. that would make me so anxious that people were using my voice to make whatever they wanted to hear even if it was nothing malicious. ‘wow that sounded so good, x has so much potential if they did this!’ well they didnt. because they didnt want to. and it wouldnt sound like that anyway cause its fucking ai. but you made them do it anyway i guess

I’m a voice actor. This is my worst fear.

Having your voice stolen by AI is not just terrifying to me because my voice is my job, it’s also terrifying because THAT IS MY VOICE. That is my literal voice. How I communicate day to day. My biological instrument that I play. It’s not yours to take! It’s not a toy for you to play with! You can use that to pretend to be me and I have no way of definitely getting it removed from the AI database now WHY would you do that to someone what is wrong with you???

A colleague of mine, who voiced an UNDERAGE character, had her voice stolen for a song with adult content. She reported the song multiple times, but trolls kept reposting it. the caption read (paraphrasing) ‘haha, we can do whatever we like, we don’t care if voice actors lose their jobs, it’s funny so we’ll keep doing it.’ that is the mentality of these people. They genuinely don’t care about the impact it has on the victim. My colleague could be impersonated for fraud, her voice could be used for ANYTHING, those clips she never recorded could lose her work in the future or be used to smear her and she has no recourse at all. The FUCK is wrong with these people.

Not to mention that AI voices were trained on voice clips stolen from the internet without the owners’ knowledge or consent, or that they’re already being used to replace human actors and their years of training with a worse, amoral alternative. It’s just another tool for the rich to get even richer.

All you need to clone someone’s voice with AI is eight seconds of clear audio. If you have any videos on social media, on YouTube, on TV, your voice can be stolen. This software should already be banned but the fuckwits in charge couldn’t legislate their way out of a paper bag so here we are.

STOP USING AI VOICES.

mutant mayhem was great but unfortunately it does contain flashing without a warning. if you’re planning on seeing it, the flashing starts in the scene where the turtles are in cynthia utrom’s lab and continues in the fight in superfly’s lair, i unfortunately don’t have timestamps though. feel free to share to spread the word for those who are planning on seeing the movie but may be harmed by flashing lights

Hey these aren’t exact exact but here we are

The flashing in utrom’s lab (assuming you are referring to the electrocution if not lmk and I’ll find the proper one) starts at roughly 58:53 and ends at about 59:55 it also briefly happens again between 1:04:16 and 1:04:18

The flashing in the lab starts roughly at 1:09:53 and ends at 1:11:40

These are really rough but I hope it may help someone

this is massively helpful tysm!!!!!

this post is gaining quite a bit of traction so please rb this version instead!! the timestamps could be extremely helpful to anyone who needs them

Wine is exactly like omegaverse fanfiction

I was GOING to say. That when you read a wine menu and see something like "notes of leather and wet stone" you think "did an insane person write this its grapes" but after youve read about wine and growing regions and the effect of oak barrels on aging and tasted a bunch of stuff and given it some thought you find yourself taking a sip of french syrah and thinking "mmm little bit of leather on the finish there" and all of a sudden that shits not crazy anymore. Youve been cooked in the soup. Youve been living in the monkey house.

With omegaverse fanfic. You -

You get the idea. Do the work for me. Please

Sorry tanuki fucker 91. I will be clearer. You get coated in the slick

i am jiggling a credit card in the door crack. life is a rich tapestry come take my hand we will weave it together.

Just watched the Barbie Movie and...

...💕ALLAN MY BELOVED💕

My man is everything that I want in a queer-coded comic relief character

  • He's Ken's buddy who fits in all of his clothes 🏳️‍🌈
  • He's a transgender/nonbinary icon
  • He canonically will fight you (and win)
  • He's capable of hearing the narrator
  • His outfits are gay as hell
  • His dancing is awkward as hell (affectionate)
  • He'd probably be everyone's gay bestie

I love him and it's so sad that I don't have a doll like him
